Things continue to change weather wise as the region is once again in for a blast from Old Man Winter.
A winter weather advisory will go into effect at 3 a.m. Tuesday and last until 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Snow, one to three inches of it, could fall in Stafford County – an area where there was no winter advisory issued earlier today.
Prince William County is set to pick up a bit more snow, anywhere from two to four inches of the white stuff.

With this next batch of winter weather headed our way, those charged with keeping roads clear are back at work.
Here’s more in a press release from VDOT:
Beginning at 4 a.m. Tuesday, more than 1,200 trucks and plows will be working to keep roads passable in northern Virginia. Trucks will be pre-positioned in subdivisions and will begin plowing once two inches of snow have fallen.
In northern Virginia, VDOT has one snow removal program for high-volume roads such as Interstates 66, 95, 495, Routes 1, 7, 15, 28,50, Fairfax County Parkway, etc. and another for subdivisions. Crews work on high-volume roads and subdivisions concurrently. Within each of these programs, roads with highest traffic volumes are cleared first.
Residents can see the status of plowing in northern Virginia neighborhoods at www.vdotplows.org. Once it snows more than two inches, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William residents can enter their address and a color-coded map shows whether plowing is underway, completed, or not yet started in their neighborhood.
And then there’s the electricity situation. Thousands in Prince William and Stafford lost power during last night’s ice storm. Click here to see the latest number of outages.
